How to get the Red Dead Redemption 2 stone hatchet by playing GTA Online

Red Dead Redemption 2 may still be a few months off, but that shouldn't stop you from amassing what items you can in preparation for having the best time in the game that you possibly can. There's currently a Stone Hatchet up for grabs that you can pick up in GTA Online, which you'll be able to unlock in Red Dead Redemption 2 when it launches on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Want to pick up the powerful melee weapon for use later on when you finally boot up that hotly-anticipated game? Here's exactly how you can go about getting geared up for Red Dead Redemption 2 with this awesome-looking melee weapon.

Maude Eccles will be sending along text messages with bounty locations. When you get a text message, seek out your latest target to acquire them dead or alive, one by one.
The Stone Hatchet's location will be unlocked when you've collected all of Maude's bounties.
When you acquire the location of the Stone Hatchet, you can complete a special Kills Challenge for a bonus of GTA$250,000 and to cement your unlock for Red Dead Redemption 2.

Of course, this isn't the only weapon you could have acquired in GTA Online for the upcoming western-themed game. You can also pick up the Double-Action Revolver. Stay tuned to your iFruit device for an email from vanderlinde@eyefind.com for instructions about how you can pick up that particular weapon for use in Red Dead Redemption 2 as well.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on October 26, 2018.
